How about the network speed?
The reporter experienced a handful of WiFi in the air as early as possible. This is the experience picture from the air:
The plane takes off at 7 o'clock. After taking off, the WiFi on the plane can be used. (when the aircraft rises to 10000 feet, it automatically turns on the WiFi signal, and turns off when it is less than 10000 feet.).
A quarter of an hour before the plane takes off, the radio rings the prompt "please switch the portable electronic equipment to the flight mode". The steward also prompts passengers one by one to turn off cellular data network and switch to flight mode. When the aircraft enters the cruise mode, the Steward will inform everyone that 'WiFi on board is available'.
